Mode Programming
The Falcon8 features 4 modes which enable you to adjust it 100% to YOUR requirements.
• How to get into „programming the modes" Press MODE button for 3 or more seconds.
• How to check the stored values
• How to change the value
• How to get to the next Mode
• How to leave the programming mode
Important: do not turn the switch off before leaving Mode 4 (by one more press of MODE button) as otherwise your recent
changes won't be stored in the memory of the Falcon8!
Table of settings, values and modes: see below (grey-shaded values show „works default settings")
Mode.1 (SCS2)
:
allows you to adjust the cut-off voltage precisely depending on the battery type you use:

Caution: WorksDefault setting has cut-off disabled, make sure you adjust this setting before first use!
Important: Using value #0 in this mode will also disable the motor temperature cut-off function!
Mode.2 (Drive Selection)
:
the Falcon8 can be adjusted for all applications, no matter which motor rotati-

traction surfaces, we have incorporated a profile for you!
Higher value means more overall power and more aggressive throttle response.

Special Features
Changing Mode Settings without the Transmitter:
and change the MODE settings on the speed-control as described under „Mode Programming".
Works-Default-Settings:
All Nosram speed-controls come factory-adjusted (defaults are grey-shaded). If
you loose track of the modes, you can restore the works default settings easily. With your radio switched on, hold
the SET button pressed while you switch on the speed-control. This returns the unit to our works default settings.
Sensored Brushless Technology:
Advanced Digital allows the perfect knowledge of the brushless motor's
magnet position. This results in perfect motor control at high and low RPM's, as well as perfect brake control.
Troubleshooting Guide
To eliminate all other possibilities or improper handling, first check all other components in your model and the
trouble shooting guide before you send in this product for repair. If products are sent in for repair, which do operate
perfectly, we have to charge a service fee according to our pricelist.
Always check error by checking LED error code first, this gives you a good indication were to search!

SmartCell System 2 & SwitchingBEC
Mode.1 -
SmartCell System 2:
ensures that all batteries can be used safely for all applications, please select the correct
value according to our table under „Mode Programming". When the battery voltage reaches the selected cut-off
voltage, the motor function will be disabled and the LED's will indicate that the shutdown has occured due to
undervoltage of your batteries (see chapter „3-Way Protection System" for further details).
Switching BEC:
strongest in it's class, 6.0V/6A highly efficient output which powers even the strongest digital
servo's in the heaviest vehicles!
Drive Selection
Mode.2 -
Drive Selection (Brake-, Reverse-Function and Motor Rotation Direction):
fully adjustable drive selection. The requirements and preferences for 1:8 buggy and truggy-brushless setups can
be rather different and therefore we allow maximum flexibility!
You can disable reverse, if you plan on using forward/brake only as you're used to from your nitro vehicle. But
addtionaly you can also disable the speed-controls brake function in case you prefer using your standard nitro cars
brake system with a brake servo, for that operation you need a separete „Y-wire" which allows you to connect both
the speed-control and the brake servo to the receivers channel 2.
Also there is reversed/CW motor rotation mode available for models with reversed gearbox which normally can
not use a sensored brushless system.
Feel / Powerprofiles
Mode.3 -
Allows you to adjust the Falcon8's feeling & characteristics to different motor types, classes, number of cells,
racetracks and of course personal preferences!
Our worlds-winning profiles have been altered for the special requirements of 1:8 cars, buggy's and truggy's now!
Depending on the status of the car (start, acceleration, full speed) the software calculates the perfect motor
management by adjusting current limiter, throttle curve and more! Higher value means more overall power and
aggressive response.
We integrated an active current limiter to achieve best car control without sacrifising topspeed, so you have very
good control during acceleration but always reach the maximum speed your motor is capable of. The higher profile
you select the more bottom end power & torque you will achieve.
Recommendations
Caution:
correct gearing is crucial for good performance and a healthy temperature of motor, speed-control and
batteries. When making changes to gearing, battery voltage, motor or mode3 settings you need to monitor motor
temperatures during the first minutes of running carefully.
A brushless motor should never exceed a temperature of 100°C (210°F).
Brake:
A good starting point for the brake setting on your radio is 80% for all classes. Make sure you do the
radio-setup with all settings on the radio on 100% and decrease them to 80% after you have compleded the setup.!
